People Need To STOP Bashing Sarah Palin Over McCain

[wk4bush2004]

So yeah, I'm getting sick and tired of how people are bashing Sarah Palin over her endorsement of McCain.

We all know why she's doing it and she has my complete respect and support.

So, anyway, conservatives are fighting amongst each other over this and it really is pathetic! On Sarah's Facebook page, people keep lamenting, whining and moaning over it, and I kept calmly trying to calm them down, but they wouldn't listen. Finally, I lost it and said:

"FOR GOD'S SAKE, PEOPLE, PULL YOURSELVES TOGETHER!!!!! THIS IS NOT HOW A GROUP OF PATRIOTS ACTS!!!!!!!!

SERIOUSLY, DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE 100% PERFECT IN YOUR EYES IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE A VIABLE CANDIDATE???? LAST TIME I CHECKED, NO ONE IS!

SARAH PALIN IS THE BEST CHANCE WE HAVE TO UNSEAT OBAMA AND HIS FASCIST REGIME AND YOU'RE ALL HERE TOO BUSY ARGUING ABOUT ONE ENDORSEMENT!!!!!!!! THAT IS PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!

WE HAVE TO BE 100% UNITED IN ORDER TO DEFEAT THE SOCIALISTS!!!!!!! STOP GETTING INTO STUPID PETTY FIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SARAH ENDORSED MCCAIN! OK, DONE, NEXT ISSUE, PLEASE!!!!!!!"

I'm no military guy, but I do know that in a battle, you need to have a UNITED FRONT and petty arguments like this are dividing the front!

It is obvious that Sarah Palin is the only one who can defeat Obama and that we need to be united around her!

“Trying to appease liberal is a sure way to NOT get elected.” (Responding to: Just catering to the conservatives will not get her elected.)

True enough. But a whole lot of people think of themselves as, for lack of a better term, unaligned with either the liberals or the conservatives. She needs a lot of them voting for her if she wants to get elected.

Throwing McCain under the bus after he brought her to the national stage will not help her with the majority of folks she needs.

[Catsrus]

I answered your questions and you don’t want to give Sarah any credit. So stuff your posts where the sun doesn’t shine and that means up your butt!

[dangus]

>> We can have either a majority in Congress, or ideological purity.<<

We can damned well elect a Senator from a deep red state like Arizona who doesn’t support federal control of all industry through carbon regulating, the government deciding who has and doesn’t have the freedom of speech, siphoning off $100 billion to tobacco lawyers, wealth redistribution, and aiding and abetting the invasion of the United States by granting amnesty to 30 million illegals!!!

I’m not talking ideological purity, I’m talking bearing any semblance of a conservative. If it’s your opinion that conservatives can’t even win the state of Arizona, then why the hell are you infecting this site with your socialist-pandering defeatism? And how dare you criticize others for actually holding out hope that we can do better than McCain?

Her endorsement Of that hack McCain has removed her permanently from my choice as president. She has proved to me that she is just another politician and we already have enough of those! He and that other RINO Newt are trying to slide under the conservative banner to remain relevant and it should not work.

[sickoflibs]

LOL, another Palin-McCain post party. Pass the chips !

[B4Ranch]

Needs to be said again!

And guess what?

I see some of the same jerks here today running in their little pack like they do chastizing anyone for criticizing Sarah Palin for McCain or anything else THE EXACT SAME WAY THEY RODE HERD HERE OVER ANYONE WHO DARED CRITICIZE BUSH OVER AMNESTY....now tell me now 4 years later who had that right?

You folks make me sick with your little cliques here...like High School girls. I pray you don’t get the power here again they had before when they all ran off chasing Ivan’s siren call.

I agree that rabs and bobj are over the top in their vitriol for Sarah....no doubt about that

But you know what?

She better learn to deal with the heat.

I wish she would back off McCain too...he is no pal of ours’...and she dirties herself ...once woulda been enough.

First, a rating of 82.3 is not really that high. It puts Senator McCain in 39th place among senators serving in 2006, the latest year for which the ACU has its ratings posted online.

-- The ACU Senate ratings are posted through 2009. Link to 2009 ratings

-- No current Dem senator has a higher lifetime rating than McCain's, or any other GOP senator for that matter.

-- 10 current GOP senators have a lower lifetime ACU rating than John McCain, including Thad Cochran, Judd Gregg and Richard Shelby.

I don't support McCain in his primary, but them's the facts.

Disagree, we cannot afford to KEEP McCain. He needs dumping, the sooner the better. Sarah does not need to be dumped, however. She is our best chance at regaining our freedoms in this country.

MIKE’S WEEKLY COLUMN

Welcome Back Dad By Michael Reagan September 4, 2008

I’ve been trying to convince my fellow conservatives that they have been wasting their time in a fruitless quest for a new Ronald Reagan to emerge and lead our party and our nation. I insisted that we’d never see his like again because he was one of a kind.

I was wrong!

Wednesday night I watched the Republican National Convention on television and there, before my very eyes, I saw my Dad reborn; only this time he’s a she.

And what a she!

In one blockbuster of a speech, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin resurrected my Dad’s indomitable spirit and sent it soaring above the convention center, shooting shock waves through the cynical media’s assigned spaces and electrifying the huge audience with the kind of inspiring rhetoric we haven’t heard since my Dad left the scene.

This was Ronald Reagan at his best — the same Ronald Reagan who made the address known now solely as “The Speech,” which during the Goldwater campaign set the tone and the agenda for the rebirth of the traditional conservative movement that later sent him to the White House for eight years and revived the moribund GOP.

Last night was an extraordinary event. Widely seen beforehand as a make-or-break effort — either an opportunity for Sarah Palin to show that she was the happy warrior that John McCain assured us she was, or a disaster that would dash McCain’s presidential hopes and send her back to Alaska, sadder but wiser.

Obviously un-intimidated by either the savage onslaught to which the left-leaning media had subjected her, or the incredible challenge she faced — and oozing with confidence — she strode defiantly to the podium and proved she was everything and even more than John McCain told us.

Much has been made of the fact that she is a woman. What we saw last night, however, was something much more than a just a woman accomplishing something no Republican woman has ever achieved. What we saw was a red-blooded American with that rare, God-given ability to rally her dispirited fellow Republicans and take up the daunting task of leading them — and all her fellow Americans — on a pilgrimage to that shining city on the hill my father envisioned as our nation’s real destination.

In a few words she managed to rip the mask from the faces of her Democratic rivals and reveal them for what they are — a pair of old-fashioned liberals making promises that cannot be kept without bankrupting the nation and reducing most Americans to the status of mendicants begging for their daily bread at the feet of an all-powerful government.

Most important, by comparing her own stunning record of achievement with his, she showed Barack Obama for the sham that he is, a man without any solid accomplishments beyond conspicuous self-aggrandizement.

Like Ronald Reagan, Sarah Palin is one of us. She knows how most of us live because that’s the way she lives. She shares our homespun values and our beliefs, and she glories in her status as a small-town woman who put her shoulder to the wheel and made life better for her neighbors.

Her astonishing rise up from the grass-roots, her total lack of self-importance, and her ordinary American values and modest lifestyle reveal her to be the kind of hard-working, optimistic, ordinary American who made this country the greatest, most powerful nation on the face of the earth.

As hard as you might try, you won’t find that kind of plain-spoken, down-to-earth, self-reliant American in the upper ranks of the liberal-infested, elitist Democratic Party, or in the Obama campaign.

Sarah Palin didn’t go to Harvard, or fiddle around in urban neighborhood leftist activism while engaging in opportunism within the ranks of one of the nation’s most corrupt political machines, never challenging it and going along to get along, like Barack Obama.

Instead she took on the corrupt establishment in Alaska and beat it, rising to the governorship while bringing reforms to every level of government she served in on her way up the ladder.

Welcome back, Dad, even if you’re wearing a dress and bearing children this time around.

[rabscuttle385]

Preserving and strengthening the party is what’s important here. We can’t afford to be seen discarding John McCain. Sarah Palin can’t afford it either.

Are you out of your mind?

McCain spent the better part of the last ten years attacking conservative Republicans, and you want to let him stay? Better yet, you want to kiss his arse and pretend he (and by extension, his radical progressive agenda of appeasement) actually matters?

Sh*t. And Palin just wrote an op-ed for the Ariz. Repugnant praising him for his bipartisan treachery.

Talk about battered wife syndrome.

RE :”It is obvious that Sarah Palin is the only one who can defeat Obama and that we need to be united around her!“

The only one ? That lays a great weight upon her shoulders.

Mccain can be quietly thrown overboard later..

[Andy from Chapel Hill]

If MeCain wins, Palin will own him.

[CodeToad]

Patriots don’t support McCain and his McAmnesty. If MCCain had turned Sarah loose during the election Obama wouldn’t have been president.

[ARepublicanForAllReasons]

Well said. Sarah is simply honoring her political debt to the man who catapulted her to fame, or at least provided the opportunity for her to catapult herself to prominence.

You are right about how it would be viewed if Palin dissed McCain now. All I hope for is that McCain loses the primary to Hayworth. Then he will be a double LOSER, and we can forget all about him. May he enjoy a nice retirement in the warm AZ sun.

[sheik yerbouty]

Hopefully he will werar a muzzle..

[techno]

Why is there no criticism of Mitt Romney for endorsing McCain? After all they were not bosom buddies during the 2008 campaign. This appears to be pure opportunism to me. In addition Rush Limbaugh claimed that Romney damaged his 2012 presidential hopes severely by backing McCain. Why not the attention on Romney by anti-Palin forces or the MSM? The answer is obvious.
